THE AUSTRALIAN BEER COMPANION

'Beer makes you feel the way you ought to feel without beer'. Henry Lawson

The Australian Beer Companion is testimony to our nation's vibrant beer-drinking culture and the dozens of breweries that are flourishing across the country.

Willie Simpson introduces us to more than 100 breweries, from the well-known Carlton & United Breweries and Fourex to small breweries such as Mountain Goat and Moo Brew. The book traces each brewery's history and its range of beers, from elegant pale ales to rich stouts and extra special bitters. A glossary of beer styles and a wealth of photos make this book 'a keeper', both for diehard beer-lovers and those just discovering the joys of Australia's amber nectar. Cheers!
